What a finish! The Hawks use all their experience and class to keep off a young Demons side. The Dees had the ball with not long left but took to long to get the ball inside 50 resulting in a poor entry. The Hawks will be happy to get another win on the board. The Dees will count this as another game that they should have won.
The Hawks by 3 points.
